Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Pet Lover with a Bernese Buddy!
I’m a passionate pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I have a two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog and an 11-year-old cat, and have cared for other pets throughout my life, so I understand the unique needs of each furry friend. From playful puppies and kittens to calm adult dogs and senior cats, I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as part of my family, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Helen looked after our Labrador Amber, Maine Coon, Raphael and our tropical fish. She took great care of them and sent us lots of pictures and videos. She also watered my tubs when we had hot weather. I thoroughly recommend Helen .
Has been very lovely and helpful in looking after Ophelia. Takes a lot of care when looking after her, has helped massively with her training and sends frequent updates throughout the stay about what they are up to, including videos and photos. Very respectful of our home and has helped keep the space clean after accidents with the puppy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup.
Helen was a wonderful choice for our dog sitter. She was great at communicating and updating us, and clearly had great fun with our dog. She worked hard to gain her trust and by the end our dog was sleeping on her lap! She left the house spotless and clearly cared about doing a good job all around.
Helen was excellent watching my cat Vinny over the Christmas period. She was attentive, caring and Vinny was very happy after her stay. Would highly recommend Helen to watch over any pet!
Helen have been very friendly and caring for Zoro, and took good care of him when we were away. She understands his needs, and first time it happened when Zoro got really close to someone in just few minutes. Really thankful to her for being there for Zoro. I would personally prefer Helen in future to look after Zoro.
Helen was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, treating them like family. We loved the daily updates and adorable photos — it really put our minds at ease while we were away. Duke was clearly very happy, calm, and well loved when we got home. Helen is reliable, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t recommend her more! We Will 100% use again! 🐾💛

Schedule
Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. As a yoga instructor and a pet owner, I’m used to creating calm, structured, and attentive environments, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles. I can easily adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs, providing companionship, exercise, and care so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in both my home and the owner’s home. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fenced back garden, and there are park walks right on my doorstep, perfect for exercise and adventure. I treat every pet as part of my family, providing regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I follow their routines closely to ensure their comfort and happiness, keeping them safe, engaged, and loved while they’re away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day is full of fun, exercise, and companionship. We’ll enjoy walks around my local area, which includes a beautiful community orchard where, if your dog is comfortable, they can meet and play with other dogs off-lead. I also take regular canal and lakeside walks for a mix of adventure and calm surroundings. At home, there’s plenty of playtime in the fenced back garden with toys, and I often include short training sessions—your dog is welcome to join in using your preferred commands to keep things consistent. Every day is balanced with exercise, play, and downtime, so your pet feels happy, stimulated, and loved.
